A garden and home lover’s Christmas gift guide 2020

We share some of our favourite finds, categorised by price, to help you find the perfect gift for your loved ones.

If you are looking for the perfect gift for a friend or family member who loves their garden and home, then look no further. We have selected some of our favourite items all at different prices. Some are quirky, some are one-off and unique, while others are useful and practical – we love them all, and so we are sure anyone who receives something from our store will love it too. 

We have a great range online and in our Melrose shop, so we hope you enjoy our special gift selection here, which we have put together based on budget to make it even easier for you to find something you love at a purse-friendly price.

It might come as a surprise to find a beautiful gift at less than £10, but it is possible! We have a wonderful selection of thoughtful present ideas that would work as stocking fillers, secret Santa gifts, something for the class teacher or a little extra for an interiors-loving friend.

Our Diamond Cut Tealight Holders, £4, are beautiful glass votives that come in three gorgeous colours: grey, clear and olive. Mix and match colours, group together, or use singly on small window ledges or tables and let the flickering light cast pretty shadows. 

Set of 4 Heart-shaped Coasters, £6.95, make a pretty and practical gift. The natural slate is beautifully tactile, hard-wearing and looks good too.  

Our gorgeous Crackle Glaze Pots, £6.95, are a lovely way to make the gift of a plant extra special. The crackle glaze finish means that every pot will vary from piece to piece, making each one individual.  

Who doesn’t love a candle or 6 at Christmas? Our hand-tied Rustic Candle Bundle, £9, contains six hand-poured candles that are non-drip and come in seven gorgeous shades. A lovely little stocking filler made to wax lyrical about! 

Our Gift Box Of Soap, £11.50, includes three artisanal French soaps made to a traditional Marseilles recipe combining shea butter and natural essences. Beautifully presented, these gorgeous, scented vegetable soaps are available in five luxurious combinations, so there’s bound to be a favourite for everyone. 

Ideal for dog lovers, our Dog Soap Dish, £12, might be designed to hold soap, but it’s just as useful for jewellery, loose change, or all those little bits and pieces we never seem to have a place for.

 Perfect for gardeners, our lightly fragranced and hard-working Seaweed & Samphire hand cream, £12.95, is beautifully packaged in an aluminium tube. Ideal for soothing and hydrating, this effective hand cream is light and easily absorbed, with a refreshing fragrance that works for both him or her.

Our much-loved Dancing Hares, £19.95, are full of character and charm. A beautifully quirky addition to shelves, mantles or bookcases, they are the perfect gift for nature lovers. 

 

We love the utilitarian chic of our Walled Garden Tinned Candles, £20, while the fragrances evoke the sense of a Victorian garden with Orchard, English Lavender, Lemon Tree, Stem Ginger, Vine Tomato and Wild Mint. The subtle scents will transport you a million miles away from a cold, grey, winter’s day! 

 We couldn’t resist including our Cast-Iron Piglet, £20, in this list. Cute, quirky and definitely one to raise a smile, this little fellow will develop its own unique patina over time. Ideal for garden lovers - who wouldn’t smile when they caught sight of this little one beside a flower pot?

We all know someone who could benefit from a bit of downtime and self-care, and our Unwind & Escape Gift Set by Plum & Ashby, £25, is the perfect antidote to stress-filled days. Comprising a Geranium & Sweet Orange candle, Wild Fig & Saffron Hand Cream and Lavender Bath Salts, it’s an ideal way to unwind, relax and recharge. 

Popular in Britain since the 1900s, the Three Wise Monkeys are a well-recognised trio. Our stone set of three, £30, are the perfect accessory for a desktop, mantel or bookshelf. They’ll add interest to any space and make a unique gift. 

Our impressive Ceramic Glazed Planter, available in two sizes, priced £33.50 and £45.50, has a lovely distressed stone-coloured finish. Perfect to bring a little light relief to dark corners, it’s just at home as a table centrepiece or creating a focal point on a console. 

For those who love a simple and natural style in their home, our Earthenware Jar, £37.95 will be irresistible. The handcrafted finish adds to its aged look and works really well with trailing faux foliage as well as upright stems.  

Our Miniature Dachshund Statue, £45, will melt the heart of any daxie owner. Made from concrete and standing 24cm high, this is a cute addition to homes and gardens that you will have no trouble training at all. 

If you are looking for an extra-sumptuous gift, our Anderson Cushion, £67.50, in a beautiful leopard print pattern makes a wonderful gift for a home lover. 

A beautiful handcrafted piece for indoors or out, our Flying Swan, £75, is made from steel with a lovely distressed paint finish. Available in either left or right facing, they are the perfect addition to bird-filled gardens. 

For those who like to cosy up at home, our Parker Sheepskin, £132, will up the luxe factor in any room; hard-wearing and sustainable, as well as looking fabulous, it’s a gorgeous gift to give and receive. 

For gnome fans everywhere, our Garden Gnome, £150, perches happily on a toadstool smoking his pipe. With a lovely weathered patina, his cheerful expression will brighten even the dullest day. A great gift for garden lovers. 

 We hope we have inspired you and taken some of the stress out of gift buying. Our shop will be open throughout December until the 24th, including Sundays. Happy shopping!
